The Good Consumes less energy than any flat-panel TV we've tested; accurate primary colors; de-judder mode smoothes out motion; handsome styling; solid connectivity with four HDMI inputs.
The Bad Produces light black levels; energy-saving mode creates distracting black-level fluctuations; dark areas tend toward blue; de-judder processing introduces artifacts; sub-par off-angle viewing.
The Bottom Line Although it has its share of picture-quality problems, the Eco-friendliness of Philips' 42PFL5603D flat-panel LCD will win the day for consumption-conscious shoppers.
At the Consumer Electronics Show this year we selected the Philips 42PFL5603D as the best product overall because it addressed one big issue with today's flat-panel HDTVs: power consumption. Now that we've tested the "Eco TV," we can confirm that it does indeed use less power than any flat TV to ever grace our labs. The bad news is that despite appealing to our desire to save the planet, reduce U.S. dependence on foreign oil, or simply save a few bucks on the ol' electric bill, the 42PFL5603D does not appeal to our desire to watch a high-quality home theater image. If your priorities lie less with black-level performance and more with saving black gold, however, the Eco TV's miserly power consumption more than offsets its mediocre picture quality.
There's a lot to like about the external appearance of the Eco TV. Its black frame is the same thickness all around and bordered by a rounded strip of see-through plastic. Otherwise the look is quite minimal, with few logos, LEDs, or other unsightly extras. The matching black stand swivels, and the downward-firing speakers are hidden under the cabinet. Including stand, the set measures about 41.2 inches wide by 28 inches tall by 10.3 inches deep, and weighs 60 pounds, while removing the stand shrinks it to 41.2 by 25.4 by 3.5 inches and 49 pounds.
Philips has always produced funky, if not exactly ergonomically friendly remotes, but the sad little clicker included with this TV represents a new low. Its few buttons aren't well differentiated at all, and the cursor control makes an annoying click when depressed. We're still not fans of the company's menu system, with its less-intuitive navigation and large sections that obscure the screen during adjustment.
The Philips 42PFL5603D's greatest claim to fame is its energy-saving prowess. With its Power Saver mode engaged, which utilizes all of the set's energy-saving functions including a variable backlight, a brightness limiter, and a room-lighting sensor, it draws about as much power as a standard incandescent light bulb. Even in its default picture setting it's more efficient than just about any other 42-inch TV, and in fact uses less energy than even smaller sets we've tested. Check out the Juice Box below for the numbers, and this blog post for other comparisons.
The Power Saver picture mode assures maximum energy efficiency at the expense of picture brightness.
The key to the 42PFL5603's ability to sip power lies in its "Active Control" mode, which causes the TV to vary the intensity of its backlight on the fly according to picture content. Darker scenes cause the backlight to turn down and brighter scenes ratchet up its intensity. As you can imagine, this fluctuation in backlight brightness can become bothersome; the Performance section has the dirty details.
Like many 2008 flat-panel TVs, the Philips has a native resolution of 1080p, the highest currently available. Of course, it's always worth mentioning that at this screen size, it's difficult to appreciate the extra detail afforded by those extra pixels.
The Digital Natural Motion setting smoothes out judder in motion, much like similar modes available on 120Hz LCDs.
Philips' "Digital Natural Motion" is a de-judder processing mode that smoothes motion, much like those available in 120Hz LCDs (the 42PFL5603D is a standard 60Hz display). Active Control also has a light sensor that can detect ambient room lighting and adjust the picture accordingly. There's also a Dynamic Contrast control that again adjusts the picture on the fly--for best picture quality, we left all of these controls turned off. We also tried out the Settings Assistant, which is designed to quickly optimize the picture, but the results weren't nearly as satisfying as a true calibration.
Philips' built-in "Settings Assistant" includes a series of screens like this one, where you're supposed to choose between two images.
Speaking of picture adjustments, we were quite disappointed to discover that Philips didn't include independent input memories on the 42PFL5603D. All four of the HDMI inputs share the same "Personal" picture memory slot, and the two component video inputs share a different one as well. None of the other picture presets aside from Personal can be adjusted, and to top it off, you can't adjust color temperature beyond the three presets. We were also peeved by the lack of a dedicated backlight control, something found on most other LCDs regardless of price. In short, people who like tweaking the picture or having different picture settings for different components will want to choose another HDTV. We did appreciate the ability to choose from among four aspect ratios with HD sources, one of which introduced zero overscan with 1080 resolution signals.
With three HDMI inputs and two component-video inputs, the only missing link on the Philips' back panel is a VGA input for computers.
The input selection on the 42PFL5603D is quite generous, starting with three HDMI inputs on the back panel and a fourth on the side. There are also two component video inputs, an AV input with composite and S-Video, a coaxial digital audio output, and an analog audio input associated with one of the HDMI ports (so you can connect legacy DVI devices and still get audio). There's no analog VGA-style computer input, however. In addition to that fourth HDMI port, the side panel offers a second AV input with composite and S-Video, a USB port to display digital photos and play MP3 music files via the TV, and a headphone jack.
The Philips 42PFL5603D didn't do much to impress us under critical viewing conditions. Its black-level performance was relatively poor; its color, especially in dark areas, was less accurate; and its energy-saving mode made too many picture quality compromises.
Prior to our standard calibration we tried Settings Assistant, which is designed to set picture parameters by stepping you through a series of image pairs, and afterward the image was (as we expected) fairly poor. Black levels were too high along with light output, and color temperature was a ridiculously blue 12,000K on average. Adjusting the "personal" preset in our usual manner yielded much better results, although we would have really appreciated detailed color temperature controls to rein in the once again overly blue tinge. Our picture setting tip has all the details.

UTEP to play Fresno State in New Mexico Bowl in first post-season appearance since 2014
by: Colin Deaver
Posted: Dec 5, 2021 / 11:17 AM MST / Updated: Dec 6, 2021 / 03:01 PM MST
EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) – For the first time in seven seasons, UTEP is going bowling; the Miners will battle former WAC foe Fresno State in the New Mexico Bowl on Dec. 18 in Albuquerque.
The official bowl matchup was first confirmed by The Action Network's Brett McMurphy.
UTEP (7-5) will be an underdog to the Bulldogs (9-3) in its first trip to a bowl since 2014. The Miners played in the New Mexico Bowl that year, too, losing to Utah State 21-6. This will mark the third straight trip to the New Mexico Bowl for UTEP to play against a Mountain West Conference opponent; they lost to BYU in Albuquerque in 2010.
"We are looking forward to welcoming the Miners and their fans back to the post-season and back to the PUBG MOBILE New Mexico Bowl," said PUBG MOBILE New Mexico Bowl Executive Director Jeff Siembieda. "Dana Dimel has done a terrific job with an exciting football team, and they're in the midst of a special season."

— UTEP Football (@UTEPFB) December 5, 2021
UTEP is coming off its first winning season since that 2014 campaign and are looking to win the program's first bowl game since 1967, a Sun Bowl victory over Ole Miss. The Miners have also never won a bowl game that wasn't the Sun Bowl.
"For them, that leaves a legacy if they get a win," said UTEP head coach Dana Dimel. "We'll be challenged to do that, but I told these guys we'd be remembered as a special team if we win. So, what a great challenge for us."
Led by quarterback Gavin Hardison, wide receiver Jacob Cowing and a staunch defense, UTEP started the season 6-1, before closing with a 1-4 record against tougher competition. However, the Miners were competitive in all but one of their final five games, with losses to FAU, North Texas and UAB coming despite the Miners leading all of those games at one point in the contest.
Playing just three hours up the road in Albuquerque, UTEP could get a big crowd at DreamStyle Stadium on Dec. 18 for the New Mexico Bowl.
While the Miners are projected to be an underdog – Fresno State opened as 13-point favorites on Sunday; the line favored the Bulldogs by 12.5 points on Monday – UTEP will be playing a Bulldogs team that may not look much like the squad that won nine games in 2021.
Head coach Kalen DeBoer left the Bulldogs after two seasons to take the head coaching job at Washington on Nov. 29. Fresno State running backs coach Lee Marks will serve as the interim head coach for the bowl game.
Additionally, Bulldogs quarterback Jake Haener entered the transfer portal after throwing for 3,810 yards and 32 touchdowns in 2021. Haener lead Fresno State to wins over then-No. 13 UCLA and then-No. 21 San Diego State, plus a close loss on the road at then-No. 11 Oregon. It appears likely that Haener could join DeBoer at Washington.
In his final game for the Bulldogs on Nov. 25, Haener led Fresno State to a 40-9 win over San Jose State, throwing for 343 yards and four touchdowns. Jaylen Henderson or Logan Fife are likely to get the start in the bowl game; they have thrown a combined 12 passes this season.
The inexperience at quarterback could be something for UTEP to take advantage of, particularly with how improved the Miners were on that side of the field under first-year defensive coordinator Bradley Dale Peveto.
"I'm good with the draw because what better challenge for us than a Fresno State team that's had a great season? In a bowl game you want to do something special and we could do something special with a win," said Dimel. "They'll be well-prepared. They have so many good players, losing one player won't make a big difference, we've already done that analysis as well."
Fresno State also possesses a stout defense, giving up just 20.3 points and 344 yards per game in 2021. The Bulldogs showed an ability to play at a high level, showcased in their wins over UCLA and San Diego State; they also struggled in games against inferior opponents, losing 27-24 at Hawaii and eking out a win over UNLV, 38-30.
UTEP and Fresno State have two common opponents: Boise State and New Mexico. They were both blown out by the Broncos; both won over the Lobos, Fresno State convincingly, UTEP by a touchdown at home.
Former WAC opponents, the last time the Miners and Bulldogs squared off on the football field was Oct. 9, 2004, a 24-21 Miners win over the Bulldogs in Fresno.
UTEP and Fresno State will kickoff in the 2021 New Mexico Bowl at 12:15 p.m. MT on Dec. 18 in Albuquerque. The game will air on ESPN.
Tickets to the PUBG MOBILE New Mexico Bowl are $40 each and are on sale now by visiting www.UTEPMiners.com/tickets. Fans are encouraged to purchase the tickets directly through UTEP to ensure that they are seated in the UTEP sections. Tickets can be managed via Print at Home or Mobile. Fans can also call (915) 747-UTEP or email tickets@utep.edu with questions.

What are my slaves doing outside at night? I did not call for them!
DEMONSTRATING THE POWER to collectively organize without state approval is one of the most threatening acts a subordinate group can perform. Scott singles out this kind of resistance in particular for special treatment in his book, The Arts of Practical Resistance.
The visual importance of the mass gathering is primary. Seeing a mass of people purposefully mobilized hits a thick nerve in everyone's hindbrain. This is the symbolic power of the mob. Those participating in the mass unauthorized gathering are similarly touched by a "collective exhilaration" because of the "license [mass gatherings] promote among normally disaggregated inferiors" while at the same time affording the safety of anonymity to each person in the crowd. Therefore, even if nothing tangible is accomplished, the fact that the unauthorized gathering happened at all is itself an accomplishment.
Why is this seemingly simple and natural thing been universally repressed by ruling elites? Why is it that, as Scott says, "any unauthorized gathering…has therefore been seen as politically threatening" to the elite? They fear it because they can't control it. Questions like, "What possible reason, other than their subordination, could possibly serve to bring them together?", rightfully arise among the dominant elite. Scott reminds us that it doesn't matter how radical the demands of the subordinate group are, the fact that they have deigned to gather without permission is itself seditious.
Consider how things operate in the United States. We know that the goyim here are allowed to get riled up and gather in giant stadiums to watch niggerball. That is authorized. Hundreds of thousands can go to a music festival or a mega-church because that is expected and again, authorized. A Trump rally? Authorized, but more closely watched. How about the Charlottesville protest in 2017? Not authorized. And the Yellow Jacket protest in France? Not authorized.
Scott gives a good example of how slave gatherings were regulated in the New World plantations long ago. These farms had strict rules regarding the assembly of slaves; "Gatherings of five or more slaves without the presence of a white observer were universally forbidden." We can now understand the real reason and usefulness of 'diversity' in social spaces; we cannot be allowed to congregate without a state spy present. Plantation owners knew the best way to control their slaves was to keep them isolated, working and constantly monitored.
This touches on the notion of horizontal links and peer-to-peer communications. The ruling elite would like as few of these as possible to exist among the groups they rule. A lack of horizontal links between the people means that the master is the only thing connecting the subordinates, down the chain (think of a node with spokes). This organization is intended to create "mere atoms with no social existence", aka no peer-to-peer communication.
Intermediate social structures must be eliminated. Scott mentions, "village traditions, ethnicity, religious sect, dialect, and other cultural practices" as inherently threatening to a state power structure. Our rulers want us all isolated and de-cultured, with nothing in common except our shared slavery. They want all organic natural social ties broken and all transactions and communications mediated through (((master))).

IBM and Black & Veatch Collaborate on AI-Driven Monitoring Solutions
Predictive asset monitoring and digital twins to help improve industrial asset reliability, lifespan and performance
ARMONK, N.Y. and OVERLAND PARK, Kan., Aug. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- IBM (NYSE: IBM) and Black & Veatch today announced a collaboration to jointly market Asset Performance Management (APM) solutions, including remote monitoring technologies that combine near real-time data analytics with artificial intelligence to help customers keep equipment and assets running at peak performance and reliability.
IBM and Black & Veatch are combining near real-time data analytics with artificial intelligence to help customers keep equipment and assets running at peak performance and reliability.
The companies are collaborating on solutions combining Black & Veatch Asset Management Services (AMS) and digital analytics with IBM Maximo Application Suite. These solutions are designed to help organizations support more resilient operations for industrial, energy and utilities assets. Black & Veatch operates four monitoring and diagnostics centers and has vast experience with near real-time, detection and analysis of emerging problems by running thousands of models and scenarios to predict changes in asset performance. IBM Maximo Application Suite's Assist, Monitor, Health, Predict and Visual Inspection capabilities aim to integrate Black & Veatch monitoring and diagnostics expertise and data analytics with maintenance management to bring them into the field where the insights can be applied.
The two companies are also planning to expand the IBM Digital Twin Exchange using Black & Veatch's digital twin asset models. "Digital twins will be a necessary part of the industrial sector's digital future because of the detailed understanding they provide and expert analysis they enable for complex assets," said Dave Brill, Vice President and Director of Asset Management Services with Black & Veatch. "The IBM Digital Twin Exchange can make this level of understanding more accessible by connecting customers in asset-intensive industries and in need of digital twins with members of IBM's rapidly growing partner ecosystem that can share their models. As part of this collaboration, Black & Veatch plans to develop digital twin asset models to sell through the Digital Twin Exchange, expanding the library's inventory."
Faced with aging equipment, tightening budgets, increased regulation and rapidly changing market dynamics, operators and engineers require increased visibility into their equipment performance and asset conditions. Remote monitoring technology can help organizations understand their assets better by providing a near real-time view of operations. Once data is collected, it can enable both predictive and conditions-based maintenance, where problems are proactively corrected before they escalate into system breakdown, in an effort to limit downtime and maximize productivity.
As assets and facilities continue to evolve and the volume of data they generate grows, knowing how to effectively manage and use this information is a major challenge for many organizations. As a result, the dashboards used for monitoring data can be overwhelming and have so many alerts that important ones may be ignored. AI and machine learning can help bridge that gap and reduce this "alarm fatigue" by sorting through the thousands of incoming datapoints, so organizations can prioritize alerts and decisively plan their actions. This collaboration combines IBM's software, artificial intelligence and machine learning expertise with Black & Veatch's engineering expertise to offer solutions that can help reduce thousands of incoming data points to a handful of actionable escalations by making predictions and then screening and diagnosing alerts. With more than 20 years of experience in near real-time data analytics, Black & Veatch provides a deep understanding of how facilities and systems operate, and its expertise and models are used to train IBM's AI to help detect anomalies and support monitoring at scale.
"Organizations in every industry need to figure out how to use the vast amounts of data generated within their own systems," said Kareem Yusuf, IBM General Manager AI Applications and Blockchain. "Monitoring insights that combine AI and machine learning technology with deep industry expertise can help organizations make better sense of their data and use it to manage their assets better. IBM and Black & Veatch are collaborating to deliver insights that can be applied to improve the performance of assets and extend their lifespans."
Black and Veatch is part of IBM's partner ecosystem helping unlock the value of Industry 4.0 by accelerating the adoption of open hybrid cloud and artificial intelligence for clients in essential industries such as manufacturing, energy, retail, and smart cities. IBM's partner ecosystem is designed to fuel hybrid cloud environments by helping clients manage and modernize workloads from the mainframe to the edge and everything in between with Red Hat OpenShift, a leading enterprise Kubernetes platform.

Farmer Fleming
03/16/2003 Dr Wingnut General Comments Off on Farmer Fleming
His name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish farmer. One day, while trying to make a living for his family, he heard a cry for help coming from a nearby bog. He dropped his tools and ran to the bog. There, mired to his waist in black muck, was a terrified boy, screaming and struggling to free himself. Farmer Fleming saved the lad from what could have been a slow and terrifying death.
The next day, a fancy carriage pulled up to the Scotsman's sparse surroundings. An elegantly dressed nobleman stepped out and introduced himself as the father of the boy Farmer Fleming had saved. "I want to repay you," said the nobleman. "You saved my son's life."
"No, I can't accept payment for what I did," the Scottish farmer replied, waving off the offer.
At that moment, the farmer's own son came to the door of the family hovel.
"Is that your son?" the nobleman asked.
"Yes," the farmer replied proudly.
"I'll make you a deal. Let me provide him with the level of education my own son will enjoy. If the lad is anything like his father, he'll no doubt grow to be a man we both will be proud of." And that he did.
Farmer Fleming's son attended the very best schools and in time, he graduated from St. Mary's Hospital Medical School in London, and went on to become known throughout the world as the noted Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of Penicillin.
Years afterward, the same nobleman's son who was saved from the bog was stricken with pneumonia. What saved his life this time? Penicillin.
The name of the nobleman? Lord Randolph Churchill.
His son's name? Sir Winston Churchill.
Someone once said:
Work like you don't need the money.
Love like you've never been hurt.
Dance like nobody's watching.
Sing like nobody's listening.
Live like it's Heaven on Earth.

Illegal's Poem
Trouble in bed


Oval Cut diamond was created by Lazare Kaplan in the 1960's. These luminous gems are different from your day to day diamond shapes as they combine the sparkle of the elongated shape of a marquise cut with the round cut. The shape is cut into a perfectly symmetrical design. Oval cut diamonds possess the fire and brilliance of a round cut diamond which makes it an ideal choice for individuals that like round diamonds, but want something distinct.
Similar to other fancy diamond shapes, preferences of an oval cut diamond also vary by length to width ratios of the cut. It is considered a classic oval cut diamond if its length to width ratio is 1.50 or in the approximate range of 1.36-1.60. This range makes the outline stretched out enough to be different from a round cut. If the elongation ends up too long, the cut will look similar to a marquise.
The 'bow-tie effect' is present in almost all oval, marquis and pear cut diamonds. Since it is an important factor in analyzing an oval cut diamond, please refer to our post on the effect of bow-tie on fancy cut diamonds for more information. In our opinion, a small 'bow-tie effect' is a plus for an oval cut diamond; likewise, please avoid a large 'bow-tie effect' because it indicates the poor cut of the diamond.
Hint: Use tools like Jame Allen's Video 3D 360 Degree 40X Magnified Technology to compare different diamonds and get sense of what the proportions does to the cut and shape of a diamond. It can especially be helpful in figuring out what might be optimal length to width ratio for you.
The chart above serves as a general guideline when evaluating the cut of an oval cut diamond. The length to width ratio of 1.50 is considered the classic cut for an oval cut diamond. Every Petra Gems diamond includes precise measurements and length to width ratio, so our customers could make a rational decision when considering an oval cut diamond.
Just like evaluating the color in other diamond shapes, color in an oval cut diamond is also subjective. Our experience indicates many buyers prefer the warmer colors over the cool colors. In the color spectrum, the warmer colors refer to G-I diamonds while the cool colors refer to D-F diamonds. The good side to that is the price premium for a lower color grade oval cut diamond would be lower.
For more detailed information on the color of an oval cut diamond, use the table below.
Choose an oval cut diamond that meets your standards in terms of clarity. Each of our customers has a unique standard for clarity and color. Some of our customers want a flawless diamond with a lot of clarity, while others are perfectly comfortable with a slight inclusion as long as it is not easily noticed. GIA provides excellent help with their clarity grades, so you can use it to choose an oval cut diamond that will meet your standards. The chart below serves as a general guide for you to evaluate clarity in oval diamonds.

For many tradespeople, cyber security doesn't seem like a huge priority. But in the new age of GDPR, it's more important than ever to protect your customer information – particularly as there are new scammers on the loose.
Earlier this month, detectives in Northern Ireland uncovered an email fraud perpetrated by a con-man posing as a local tradie, and are warning others to be vigilant.
The tradesman in question had his email account hacked. A message was then sent to one of his clients asking them to pay their outstanding bill into a new email account – one belonging to the hacker.
Fortunately, the scam was spotted and the transaction cancelled before payment could go through, but this isn't the first time fraudsters have tried a technique like this. One couple in North London were fooled into handing over £25,000 to someone posing as their builder.
What's different about this scam is that the tradesman's email address was hacked. Often hackers just create a similar looking email address and hope the client will fall for it.
Tradespeople and their clients are frequently the target of scams like these because they tend to deal with large sums of money, so it pays to be careful and stay vigilant with your online presence.
Given that recent research has found that the public think certain trades are less trustworthy than others, it's vital that tradespeople do everything they can to maintain customer trust.
While hacking or spoofing of email addresses might be unavoidable in some cases, there are steps you can take to make sure you clients don't fall for it. Let them know in advance when you'll be asking for payment, and in what form, and tell them to get in contact with you by phone if they have any concerns.
If you do suspect your account has been compromised, get in contact with your clients as quickly as possible to let them know, and make sure you follow GDPR regulations.

Ottův pramen je jeden ze dvou minerálních zásaditých pramenů v obci Kyselka na Karlovarsku. Pramení v kopci nad řekou Ohří, kde nechal Heinrich Mattoni vystavět tzv. Ottovu kolonádu (Ottův pavilon). Pokračuje do pítka pod pavilonem a dále stružkou až do řeky Ohře. Je pojmenován po řeckém králi Otovi I., který Kyselku v roce 1852 navštívil. Předtím se jmenoval Bukovská kyselka.

V současnosti je sveden do pítka před sochu Heinricha Mattoniho, mezi Jindřichův dvůr a kavárnu. Zde je možné vodu popíjet. Do roku 2014 bylo pítko umístěno na nároží domu Jindřichův dvůr. Ottův pramen je též jímán a potrubím veden do stáčírny Karlovarských minerálních vod, kde je odželezněn, smísen s dalšími prameny a prodáván pod značkou Mattoni. Dnešní minerální voda Mattoni tak, na rozdíl od té stáčené Heinrichem Mattonim, obsahuje pouze stopové množství Ottova pramene.

Kapil Dev launches social platform SloPho
Priya sundarajan | New Delhi, Nov 12 | Updated on: Nov 12, 2014
Former Indian cricketer and captain Kapil Dev on Wednesday launched SloPho, a social platform that will allow users to win prizes in games, contests, polls and quizzes on daily basis.
The cumulative average daily prize money to be won ranges as much as Rs 25,000 and will go up significantly during special promotions and festivals, the company said.

Finding Meaning From Within
By Rabbi Naphtali Hoff
When Moshe asked Yisro to give him his daughter Tzippora as a wife, Yisro said, "Accept one thing which I will tell you and I will give her to you." "What is it?" asked Moshe. Yisro replied, "The first son who will be born to you should be designated for idolatry; from then on, for Heaven." He (Moshe) accepted this. Yisro said, "Take an oath on it," and he took an oath, as it says, "va-yoel Moshe" (Shemos 2:21); the word "va-yoel" always means an oath. (Mechilta, Parshas Yisro)
This Midrash is quite difficult to understand. We know that Yisro had been ostracized in Midian following his rejection of idolatry (see Rashi's commentary to Shemos 2:16-17). Although Yisro himself had been an idolatrous priest for many years, he eventually came to the realization that religious truth lay elsewhere. It was this realization that allowed Yisro to fully appreciate the splitting of the Yam Suf and the giving of the Torah in a manner that other people could or would not hear (see Shemos 18:1 and Rashi's commentary ibid). How is it then that this same Yisro would require his future son-in-law Moshe to dedicate his first-born son to the same idolatry that he himself had rejected? In addition, how is it that Moshe, the future leader of the Jewish people and the greatest prophet who ever lived, could have consented to such a seemingly preposterous precondition?
Rav Shimon Schwab, in his sefer Mayein Bais Hashoeiva, suggests that in effect there was a great philosophical debate between Moshe and Yisro. Moshe had been raised as an observant Jew since birth. Since the day that he was born he had been the recipient of a tradition that stressed Torah study and proper Jewish values. Concepts basic to our religion permeated his very essence. It was this pure mesorah that Moshe wished to pass on to his own children.
Yisro, on the other hand, arrived at the truth through a very different set of circumstances. He had devoted his entire life to idolatry, only to later realize the futility of his efforts. Even though he now recognized that Judaism was the only true religion – as illustrated by his ultimate conversion – he still wanted his grandchildren to be able to be subjected to the same process of being exposed to and rejecting falsehood that he himself experienced. It was only after such a search for truth, he felt, that they could truly appreciate what it was that Judaism had to offer.
As a result of this debate, Moshe and Yisro arrived at a compromise. Moshe, in truth, never committed his first-born son to idolatry. Neither did Yisro really request that his first grandson be groomed in that direction. Instead, they agreed that Moshe's first son be given the option to choose between good and evil. He would be exposed to external ideas and values, with the hope that he would emerge with a deeper and more meaningful appreciation of Hashem and the Torah.
Unfortunately, as Rav Eliyahu Dessler points out (Michtav MeEliyahu, Vol. 1, pp.153-154), the results of this decision were far from what either man had envisioned. None of Moshe's direct descendents emerged as Torah leaders of subsequent generations. In fact, his grandson was the idolatrous priest of the cult known as "Pesel Micha" (see Shoftim 18:30 and the commentary of Rashi ibid). Even though Yisro possessed only the best of intentions, the ultimate consequence of his request was disastrous.
As parents and educators, we are often faced with a similar dilemma. How much exposure do we allow our children to the outside world, particularly today, when we are in competition with the outside world for the very neshamos of our children?
Certainly, there is no easy answer to this question.
Without a doubt, we should aim to create and sustain the type of insular environment that reduces harmful outside influences. The negative temptations that exist are very powerful and, once incorporated within our lives, are difficult to overcome. (Rav Dessler, in his explanation of the above Midrash, states that the environment in Yisro's home did not as of yet reflect his ultimate acceptance of Hashem as G-d. As such, there was enough residual negativity so as to influence Moshe into accepting his preposterous demand. Imagine how much more of a negative influence is created by an environment such as ours, particularly when the ones who are affected hold nowhere near the same degree of spiritual strength and fortitude as that possessed by Moshe Rabbeinu!)
At the same time, we must also take pains to ensure that our children not be later overwhelmed by the challenges and experiences that life will invariably present (see Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch, Collected Writings, Vol. 7, pp. 411ff.). When they leave the insular walls of the yeshiva they will be faced with difficult tests, ones never before experienced by past generations. We simply cannot shelter our children from all of these temptations. Rather, we must instill within them a love for yiddishkeit that is of such a magnitude they will possess the necessary fortitude to resist and ultimately reject these outside forces.
Let us hope that we can help our children find the true depth and meaning of yiddishkeit from within, thereby satisfying the hopes of both Yisro and Moshe without running the risk that ultimately led to the downfall of their shared progeny.

We use different molecular tools to collect, test and enhance wildtype and/or engineered bacterial strains for biodegradation of xenobiotics in soil and water. Our principal focus concerns organophosate (OP) pesticide remediation, with an added interest in the breakdown of several other high impact xenobiotics common to the Houston-metropolitan area including herbicides, oil products and byproducts as well as polychlorinated organic waste. In addition, we use our growing bacterial collection to actively engage our students in undergraduate research experiences to prepare them for the 21st century STEM workforce. To this end, research in our laboratory is currently divided into six major projects.
As part of an ongoing project in organophosphate (OP) pesticide bioremediation, our students screen soil and water samples to isolate bacterial strains which biodegrade organophosphate (OP) compounds. The location of all collected isolates is pinned to Google maps and uploaded to an Environmental Sampling database. This database allows students to map and analyze the distribution of OP-degrading activity across the Houston-metropolitan area as well as any other regions samples have been taken. In the near future we will be collaborating with other institutions to expand our collection both nationally and globally. A representative list of identified OP degraders we have collected to date is shown below.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pseudomonas putida, Pseudomonas stuterzi, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, Exiguobacterium indicum, Acinetobacter calcoaceticus, Acinetobacter haemolyticus, Achromobacter xylosoxidans, Achromobacter denitrificans, and Ochrobactrum anthropi as well as unknown species of Citrobacter, Arthrobacter, Rhizobium, Agrobacterium, and Delftia.
Positive isolates are tested against different OP substrates including parathion, paraoxon, methyl parathion, chlorpyrifos, and malathion. Degradation kinetics data is then compared under different environmental and nutritional parameters to determine how field remediation of a particular OP may be enhanced. In addition to OPs, we have also begun preliminary testing on biodegradation of common industrial solvents, toluene and benzene, the herbicides glyphosate and atrazine, petroleum hydrocarbons, 1, 4 dioxane, and toxic cogeners of dibenzo-p-dioxin and dibenzofuran to identify putative broad-spectrum degraders among the strains previously collected by our students.
We are in the process of building three new databases to host the research data we have compiled on our bacterial isolates. A genomic database will store 16S rDNA sequences for identification purposes as well as sequences of key xenobiotic degradation genes. A target molecule database will list the toxic compound(s) that a particular bacterium degrades, while the degradation kinetics database will store information on how fast an individual bacterium can break down its target molecule(s). Once these databases have been crosslinked to our Environmental Sampling database, all pertinent data on a bacterium may be accessed by simply clicking on one of the pins representing its sample collection site.
Research data is made available to students for a variety of STEM-building activities. These activities serve as a learning tool to enhance skillsets in bioinformatics, quantitative literacy, hypothesis testing, data interpretation, critical thinking, and problem solving. Degradation analyses familiarize students with the statistical significance of quantitative scientific data and employ statistical methods from simple T-tests and ANOVA to linear regression analysis to predict outcomes of an experiment based on past trials, interpret their results, and confirm or refute a hypothesis. Sequence and geographic information system data is used to conduct simple phylogenetic and phylogeographic analyses to illustrate evolutionary relationships between bacterial strains and/or their xenobiotic degradation genes. Finally, proteomic and structural data is compared to determine sites critical for enzyme function or to identify mutagenic hotspots for protein engineering studies.
Several bacterial isolates part of our collection are noted for their potential pathogenicity in addition to their capacity for xenobiotic detoxification. We are currently investigating how to reduce the potential virulence of our Stentrophomonas maltophilia isolates, which harbor a conserved metallo-B-lactamase enzyme with the capacity to degrade organophosphate substrates. The attenuated microorganisms that exhibit insignificant changes in growth and degradation dynamics will be used for further bioremediation applications.
Potential cancer clusters localized throughout Harris County may be linked to the presence of an EPA Superfund site alongside the San Jacinto River near I-10 that holds two dioxin waste pits. A combination of informatics data obtained online from EPA and Texas government reports is currently being used to compare dioxin concentration levels with elevated cancer statistics in the area on both a spatial and temporal basis. Recent efforts are now underway to expand this project to include sample collection from along the San Jacinto River and other impacted sites such as the Houston Ship Channel and nearby tributaries to map dioxin degradation activity in a similar manner. Furthermore, by incorporating genomic data consisting of 16S rDNA and conserved xenobiotic degradation genes extracted from the environmental isolates obtained at these sites, we will seek to determine how genetic and environmental factors influence the phylogeography of different bacteria along the San Jacinto River and Houston Ship Channel as well as the evolution of their degradation genes.

One of the dominant trends in enterprise software today is the empowerment of business users, and Tibco made two product announcements on Tuesday that play into that.
First and foremost, Tibco Simplr is a new service that aims to bring automation capabilities to the nonexpert knowledge worker. First discussed by Tibco last year, Simplr aims to help such professionals automate tasks in just a few steps.
Tibco has long built software for developers, but Simplr takes its efforts in a new direction, said Brad Topliff, senior cloud product manager.
Knowledge workers and citizen developers are just "people who have stuff to do," Topliff said. "What Simplr is attempting is to bring integration to people who don't use the word 'integration' or even the word 'data.'"
A user with an event to plan, for instance, might need to put together a form for attendees. "Say there are 400 salespeople coming, and you need to ask if they want steak, chicken or a vegetarian option for lunch," he said.
Using what Tibco calls "recipes" and with some basic configuration, Simplr can help put together a series of automated steps to get that form built and distributed. Along the way, it can use what Tibco calls "connectors" to make the necessary connections with other software and services, such as to pull data out of a survey application.
Users can change their automation "recipes" by adding connectors or interactions.
Now in invitation-only preview, Simplr is due to launch into beta next week.
Tibco also announced version 4.0 of its ActiveMatrix BPM application, which aims to enable users to compose interactive business applications rapidly and -- again -- without IT's help.
A key emphasis in ActiveMatrix BPM 4.0 is support for rapid experimentation.
"We're looking at projects that take two to three weeks rather than 18 months," said Rachel Brennan, Tibco's director of product marketing for ActiveMatrix. "This is innovation through experimentation."
ActiveMatrix BPM 4.0 is due to be available on Friday.

MIT Article Details Bill Gates's 'Quantum Dot Tattoo' Vaccine
dericiousknitty April 21, 2020 Vaccination
Storing medical information below the skin's surface
Specialized dye, delivered along with a vaccine, could enable "on-patient" storage of vaccination history.
Every year, a lack of vaccination leads to about 1.5 million preventable deaths, primarily in developing nations. One factor that makes vaccination campaigns in those nations more difficult is that there is little infrastructure for storing medical records, so there's often no easy way to determine who needs a particular vaccine.
MIT researchers have now developed a novel way to record a patient's vaccination history: storing the data in a pattern of dye, invisible to the naked eye, that is delivered under the skin at the same time as the vaccine.
"In areas where paper vaccination cards are often lost or do not exist at all, and electronic databases are unheard of, this technology could enable the rapid and anonymous detection of patient vaccination history to ensure that every child is vaccinated," says Kevin McHugh, a former MIT postdoc who is now an assistant professor of bioengineering at Rice University.
The researchers showed that their new dye, which consists of nanocrystals called quantum dots, can remain for at least five years under the skin, where it emits near-infrared light that can be detected by a specially equipped smartphone.
McHugh and former visiting scientist Lihong Jing are the lead authors of the study, which appears today in Science Translational Medicine. Ana Jaklenec, a research scientist at MIT's Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research, and Robert Langer, the David H. Koch Institute Professor at MIT, are the senior authors of the paper.
An invisible record
Several years ago, the MIT team set out to devise a method for recording vaccination information in a way that doesn't require a centralized database or other infrastructure. Many vaccines, such as the vaccine for measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR), require multiple doses spaced out at certain intervals; without accurate records, children may not receive all of the necessary doses.
"In order to be protected against most pathogens, one needs multiple vaccinations," Jaklenec says. "In some areas in the developing world, it can be very challenging to do this, as there is a lack of data about who has been vaccinated and whether they need additional shots or not."
To create an "on-patient," decentralized medical record, the researchers developed a new type of copper-based quantum dots, which emit light in the near-infrared spectrum. The dots are only about 4 nanometers in diameter, but they are encapsulated in biocompatible microparticles that form spheres about 20 microns in diameter. This encapsulation allows the dye to remain in place, under the skin, after being injected.
The researchers designed their dye to be delivered by a microneedle patch rather than a traditional syringe and needle. Such patches are now being developed to deliver vaccines for measles, rubella, and other diseases, and the researchers showed that their dye could be easily incorporated into these patches.
The microneedles used in this study are made from a mixture of dissolvable sugar and a polymer called PVA, as well as the quantum-dot dye and the vaccine. When the patch is applied to the skin, the microneedles, which are 1.5 millimeters long, partially dissolve, releasing their payload within about two minutes.
By selectively loading microparticles into microneedles, the patches deliver a pattern in the skin that is invisible to the naked eye but can be scanned with a smartphone that has the infrared filter removed. The patch can be customized to imprint different patterns that correspond to the type of vaccine delivered.
"It's possible someday that this 'invisible' approach could create new possibilities for data storage, biosensing, and vaccine applications that could improve how medical care is provided, particularly in the developing world," Langer says.
Effective immunization
Tests using human cadaver skin showed that the quantum-dot patterns could be detected by smartphone cameras after up to five years of simulated sun exposure.
The researchers also tested this vaccination strategy in rats, using microneedle patches that delivered the quantum dots along with a polio vaccine. They found that those rats generated an immune response similar to the response of rats that received a traditional injected polio vaccine.
"This study confirmed that incorporating the vaccine with the dye in the microneedle patches did not affect the efficacy of the vaccine or our ability to detect the dye," Jaklenec says.
The researchers now plan to survey health care workers in developing nations in Africa to get input on the best way to implement this type of vaccination record keeping. They are also working on expanding the amount of data that can be encoded in a single pattern, allowing them to include information such as the date of vaccine administration and the lot number of the vaccine batch.
The researchers believe the quantum dots are safe to use in this way because they are encapsulated in a biocompatible polymer, but they plan to do further safety studies before testing them in patients.
"Storage, access, and control of medical records is an important topic with many possible approaches," says Mark Prausnitz, chair of chemical and biomolecular engineering at Georgia Tech, who was not involved in the research. "This study presents a novel approach where the medical record is stored and controlled by the patient within the patient's skin in a minimally invasive and elegant way."
The research was funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Koch Institute Support (core) Grant from the National Cancer Institute. Other authors of the paper include Sean Severt, Mache Cruz, Morteza Sarmadi, Hapuarachchige Surangi Jayawardena, Collin Perkinson, Fridrik Larusson, Sviatlana Rose, Stephanie Tomasic, Tyler Graf, Stephany Tzeng, James Sugarman, Daniel Vlasic, Matthew Peters, Nels Peterson, Lowell Wood, Wen Tang, Jihyeon Yeom, Joe Collins, Philip Welkhoff, Ari Karchin, Megan Tse, Mingyuan Gao, and Moungi Bawendi.

Define Expensive
By Brian Andrew | Johnson Financial Group • December 23, 2020
Last week, Giannis Antetokounmpo signed a $256 million five-year deal with the Milwaukee Bucks. The largest deal in NBA history and a big payday for the two-time NBA MVP. Of course Bucks fans are happy, the ownership is happy and Giannis appears to be happy. The question one must ask—the one that's always asked when a new all-time high is reached— is "is this too much?"
We'll leave the answer to the question as it relates to NBA players to the pundits on ESPN and in the local Milwaukee media. But there was another new high reached last week, and this one is right up our alley. As you can see in the chart below, the Russell 2000 small company stock index has powered higher since the end of October.
Also, Tesla's stock was added to the S&P 500 Index yesterday after running up over 670% this year. Are these signs of an expensive stock market, or are they reflective of a different paradigm affecting markets?
Small Company Stocks
The Russell 2000 stock index represents companies whose market capitalization (number of shares outstanding times the price of the stock per share) is generally less than $2 billion. These are companies that cover all sectors and many industries and are generally thought to best represent activity in the U.S. economy. The top ten index names include companies such as Ceasars Entertainment, Mirati Therapeutics, Sunrun and Novavax. Not household names like Amazon, Microsoft, and Apple, which are among the top ten names in the S&P 500 Index.
When the economy is expected to weaken, small company stocks tend to do worse than their large multi-national brethren. When the economy is expected to strengthen, they generally will outperform. The rationale is that many of these companies' sales are more focused domestically.
As the election results moved into the rearview mirror and vaccine news strengthened the outlook for 2021's economic recovery, small company stocks moved higher reaching new all-time highs well after other large cap indices like the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 Index.
And indeed, economic growth estimates for next year have risen. By the end of next year, consensus estimates for annualized economic real growth are greater than 5%. Perhaps a level not seen since the early 1980s.
Investors' presumption is that the global distribution of a vaccine will begin to remove the closures most affecting the U.S. and European economies and produce a strong recovery. This will occur while the economy is also benefitting from pent-up demand resulting from the 2020 slow-down.
We believe that news of the vaccines efficacy and distribution have been priced into markets as if there won't be any issues. However, we understand that distribution challenges will occur, vaccinating millions could produce some negative side effects reducing the number of people getting the vaccine and delaying "herd immunity." In other words, there is a lot to play out with respect to the pandemic—and we shouldn't take the market's positive reaction at face value.
With that caveat in mind, we have to recognize that this additional round of stimulus, like the last, will produce a hole-patching result that will get the economy to the other side of the pandemic. The resulting acceleration in economic activity due to pent-up demand is likely. In addition, the secular trends we've discussed in the past regarding productivity improvements, labor market strength and a new generation of consumers are still in place and perhaps will provide additional fuel to the economic rally late in 2021 and into 2022.
Tesla Addition
Tesla, the electric car company, was added to the S&P 500 Index on Monday. This is important because mutual and exchange-traded funds that mirror the index need to acquire the company's stock in order to rebalance their funds with the new holding. This activity has created some additional volatility for the index.
As noted in our last piece, Tesla is not an inexpensive stock. Investors have moved a tremendous amount of money into the stock, causing its price to rally more than 670% this year. As a result, it will be one of the more expensive stocks in an already somewhat expensive index. Tesla represents 1.58% of the index as of yesterday and is the seventh-largest weighted company in the index.
As the pandemic began, there was an expectation that earnings for the companies in the S&P 500 Index would drop by 25% or more. As we've moved through the year—and now understand that the global recovery is uneven and "shutdown" removed from our lexicon—the expectation is that earnings outside of hospitality industries will drop by less than 10% and recover quickly moving into 2021. This has led to the stock market rally and a stronger recovery in prices to the point where all major indices that represent U.S. equity markets have achieved new highs.
Where Does An "Expensive" Market Go From Here?
Our view is that while the potential for a strong continued recovery exists, the caveats mentioned earlier also represent potential issues we'll monitor into the new year. However, as importantly, not all stocks in the S&P 500 have performed like Tesla. There are many companies, big and small, that remain undervalued based on the potential for a strong economic recovery in 2021. This is the primary reason we own a diverse portfolio of stocks!
While we applaud the Milwaukee Bucks for securing Giannis' abilities for another five years, and don't have an opinion on that value, we do pay close attention to the economy's run rate and the impact it has on asset price values. Our diverse approach means that we will attempt to not over-own those expensive parts of the market in favor of those that have remained undervalued.

Family devastated as 'bubbly' Cannock mum of four is diagnosed with breast cancer
She had to give up her job to make time for her chemo

Elisa Ward was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this year (Image: Submitted)
A family has spoken of their 'heartbreak' after a mum of four was diagnosed with breast cancer.
Elisa Ward, aged 36, was working towards a degree in law and criminology at the University of Wolverhampton whilst caring for her four children and working at the Co-op in Cannock when she received the news that she had stage three breast cancer.
Her discovery came when she was in the bath one day earlier this year and discovered a lump on one of her breasts.

After a visit to the hospital, where it was initially thought to just be a cyst, she was told that it was breast cancer.
Elisa said: "I was just in the bath one day washing myself and I just felt this lump on my boob. I've never usually been the one to check religiously but after I found it, I thought I better get it looked at properly.
"I called the doctors and they sent me to the breast clinic at Stafford hospital. The doctor was pretty confident that it was just a cyst but they would double-check it to be safe. It was only after I had the biopsy they found it was cancer.
"It felt like a massive shock at the time."
Elisa's 39-year-old sister, Emma Evans, said she was 'heartbroken' when she found out.
Emma said: "It was just a normal day back in June, Elisa came down and just said to me 'I have a lump on my boob'. I actually said to her it was probably nothing and we didn't really think anything of it.
"The consultant even said that she was young. It was a real shock."
Following her diagnosis, Elisa was scheduled to start chemotherapy, however, this had to be cancelled due to what she called "a string of bad luck".
She said: "After I had the lumpectomy, I caught Covid shortly after meaning I couldn't have chemo. I had an abscess in the spot where they took it out and that led to me having a blood clot.
"I was quite unwell for a while and they delayed chemo for several weeks. It was a real run of bad luck. I eventually started chemo on November 5 and I am currently just about to start my third round of chemo out of 12 rounds in total."
She has said that she is optimistic that she will pull through and that she will be able to get back to university after she has recovered and that her children, aged from 15 to four, who she has asked not to be named, have reacted to the news well.
Elisa added: "It looks pretty good at the moment. There is no reason why I shouldn't make a full recovery. I think the children have taken to it well. The cancer charity MacMillan has given them a lot of support and has given them the information they need in a sensitive way.
"When I had the tumour I slept through the whole week and my husband Daz helped me out with it. He literally does everything while I try to recover from my treatment.
"He has been absolutely brilliant and I couldn't have asked for anybody better."
However, the family have said that she may have some financial issues and they want to have a good Christmas.
Emma said: "My sister is always putting others above herself and to have one child is hard enough to provide for but to have four is something else.
"Her diagnosis has turned their lives upside down. The Christmas presents have been reduced and you really want them to have something special. It is not just even about the toys but it is about the basic needs."
Elisa added: "It is hard, going from two working jobs to having to rely on Universal Credit and it is not a massive amount. We had to wait a while too before we could claim and it has just been a bit of a struggle.
"Our UC payments have been sorted now but I don't think the children are aware properly of what is happening. It is tough when having chemo, there are lots of side effects but I am trying to stay positive.
"It is all about getting back to Uni and continuing my studies."
Now Emma has set up a fundraiser for her sister to support her for Christmas.
She said: "My sister is so outgoing and bubbly, she would do anything for anyone and she is so beautiful, both inside and outside.
"It was her lifelong dream to study law and it breaks my heart that she has had to stop. With Christmas on the way, it has made things hard. Christmas presents have been reduced and you want the family to have something special given the year they've had.
"I'm hopeful she's gonna pull through it and I'm gutted she's had to go through it all at such a young age."

Q: Installing 32-bit Software Outside %windir%\Program Files (x86) on Windows 2008 R2 I have a 32-bit app that I need to install and test on a Windows 2008 R2 server. This app has some dependencies on 3rd party 32-bit software (Oracle 10g client and TCL runtime -- a large portion of the app is TCL scripts). This app also creates Windows services to run.
The current version of the product requires that its binaries (.exes and .dlls) and scripts be installed to D:\App. This path is hard-coded in the scripts and config files. It also requires that the TCL runtime be installed to D:\TCL.
I'm concerned that if I try to install 32-bit binaries outside of %windir%\Program Files (x86), then weird things will happen; are my concerns warranted? Are there any side effects or issues with running 32-bit apps outside of %windir%\Program Files (x86) on Windows 2008 R2? Does our app have to do anything special with the binaries if they're running outside the %windir%\Program Files (x86) folder?

A: Windows detects the 32/64-bitness from the executable, so in theory a 32-bit binary can be installed anywhere.
The reason for the two Program Files directories is mainly to eliminate the risk of having both 32-bit and 64-bit installs of the same program present, and their installation files creating conflicts and/or performance problems.
However, the issue is unclear enough so that all I can say is that it also depends on what the installation jobs do exactly. Oracle installation is especially large and complex. While I believe that this has a chance of working out, still anything can happen. You will just have to try and see (use a virtual machine if you don't want to destroy your server).
You will have some issues with IIS if you try to run 32-bit extensions on 64-bit IIS.
See also Running 32-bit Applications on 64-bit Windows.

A: I have an app which makes use of Oracle Client and .net framework, in addition to few custom dll files, which I've installed on d:\app folder for a good 3 weeks now, and I've been monitoring it daily (it's an in-house app) - haven't noticed any weirdness. My app also creates few services, and it's been running fine without any hiccups.

A: So many bad things in this app - installing to a hard-coded location, multiple services, hard-coded config paths, requiring a dependency to use a non-standard install.  Time to do some re-design, I think.

Hey folks...I'm looking for a particular website. The site, run by a professional digital touch up artist, showed before and after photos of human models, with mouse rollovers flipping back between the natural and touched up version. He also listed a description for each set as to what he did and why. In some cases the results were quite shocking.
I think I've seen the site linked on here before, but I forget what it was. I tried doing a google search, but terms end up with a lot of junk. Does anyone know what site I'm talking about and remember the URL or the name of the guy?
i have this poster in my room. this guy does some interesting stuff.

High-Impact Practices
Student Learning and Satisfaction
The American Association of Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) has promoted the increased use of high-impact practices, which are forms of active, engaged learning — first-year seminars, common intellectual experiences, learning communities, writing-intensive courses, collaborative assignments, undergraduate research, diversity/global learning, service learning, internships, and capstone experiences. These practices have been shown to improve the academic performance of all students, but especially historically underserved students from minority or low-income backgrounds.
Based on his work with the National Survey of Student Engagement, educational researcher George D. Kuh has recommended that institutions "make it possible for every student to participate in at least two high-impact activities during his or her undergraduate program, one in the first year, and one taken later in relation to the major field." He has also recommended that institutions aspire to a campus culture in which "one high-impact activity is available to every student every year." Fortunately, Cal Poly students have multiple opportunities in which to be engaged in such practices, as evidenced by the metrics below.

Snow Assurance for your holiday All our chosen resorts are high altitude or have very northerly locations and glacier skiing. We also offer a Snow Assurance to give you some peace of mind.
Try our Christmas ski chalet selection for the best high altitude ski destinations this Christmas!
At Alpine Elements we cannot guarantee snow, but it is our mission to endeavour to get all guests skiing, whatever the weather! All our resorts are chosen for their reliable snow records and high altitude status, and 90% of our resorts have the benefit of access to glaciers which ensure snow almost all year round.
Snow conditions can change dramatically overnight, so if conditions are exceptionally poor then we will do our best to change you to another resort and/or chalet within our programme, subject to availability.
Furthermore, when you book an Alpine Elements holiday then we will arrange for transport* to another ski area with more than 20% of the runs open if the lift company and ski school decide you are not able to ride or ski the area or resort in which you are staying.
Transport will be arranged to a local resort where skiing/riding is deemed better than in your own resort, and which is less than 2.5 hour drive away. This will be subject to the resort allowing additional skiers.
Our Snow Assurance only covers skiers and snowboarders, it does not cover cross-country skiers. It does not cover lifts not being open due to high winds, adverse weather or too much snow!
In some cases the alternative resort might be in another country. In order to take advantage of this option then non UK nationals must make sure that they comply with the local passport regulations for the country where the alternative resort might be located.
*In order to provide our Snow Assurance, transport may be required to get you to another ski area (within the same resort) or to another resort altogether if the local slopes or lifts are not open. In all instances, you may need to pay a supplement in resort (either to our reps or the transport company) to make use of this service.
Our Snow Assurance will not cover any additional costs required for ski and board lessons, liftpass or ski and board hire. Any additional costs (if required) must be paid locally and such services will be subject to availability. It may well be the case that the resort in which you are staying will transfer liftpasses for little or no extra cost and/or a refund on your existing pass for lost days skiing. We will be all the help we can in claims for these instances. If this is a concern, we would recommend you investigate an additional benefit to your travel insurance policy.
Please be aware that for holidays before Dec 20th and after April 1st there may be limited lifts operating in resort, especially in some of the lower resorts. Please check directly with the Tourist Offices for updates to this information. Furthermore, our Snow Assurance policy will not operate before and after these dates.

PSC Promotes Former EFFC Boss to AIG
Imo: Unknown Gunmen Rape, Tape and Behead Soldier Couple
Jurgen Klopp Signs New Contract, Extends Stay till 2026
Ibrahim Magu, a former interim Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, may have been promoted to Assistant Inspector-General of Police by the Police Service Commission.
Magu, a Commissioner of Police, had submitted his pre-retirement notice and will leave the service on May 5.
However, sources reported on Monday that the Police Service Commission Standing Committee has recommended him for promotion to AIG, putting the commission at odds with the Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami (SAN).
Magu, the most senior Commissioner of Police, was promoted on the advice of the Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba.
Magu's ordeal began in July 2020 when he was suspended from office as acting EFCC chairman by the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), over Malami's allegations against him and he consequently appeared before a presidential panel headed by retired Justice Ayo Salami set up to probe him for alleged graft and insubordination.
The PSC had last July declined to promote Magu during the promotion of 24 CPs and other officers.
"The commission declined the promotion of Magu pending clearance from the office of the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice and the Office of the Inspector- General of Police," the commission spokesman, Ikechukwu Ani, had said in a statement.
The commissioner representing the media in the PSC, Mr Austin Braimoh, had also said the ex-EFCC boss may not get his retirement benefits until he is cleared of the allegations levelled against him by the AGF.
But speaking on condition of anonymity, a senior official said there was no pending disciplinary case against Magu before the commission.

Sun Tzu and the Art of Business Six Strategic Principles for Managers
by Mark McNeilly
Location: North Las Vegas, NV
Description: More than two millennia ago the famous Chinese general Sun Tzu wrote the classic work on military strategy, The Art of War. Now, in Sun Tzu and the Art of Business, Mark R. McNeilly shows how Sun Tzu's strategic principles can be successfully applied to modern business situations. Here are really two books in one: McNeilly's synthesis of Sun Tzu's ideas into six strategic principles for the business executive, plus the entire text of Samuel B. Griffith's popular translation of The Art of War. Within, McNeilly explains how to gain market share without inciting competitive retaliation, how to attack a competitor's weak points, and how to maximize the power of market information for competitive advantage. He also demonstrates the value of speed, preparation, and secrecy in throwing the competition off-balance, employing strategy to beat the competition, and the need for character in successful leaders. In his final chapter, McNeilly presents a practical method to put Sun Tzu and The Art of Business into practice. By using modern examples throughout the book from GE, Microsoft, AT&T, BMW, Southwest Airlines, FedEx, and many others, he illustrates how, by following the wisdom of history's most respected strategist, executives can avoid the pitfalls of management fads and achieve lasting competitive advantage.
